This is an application that is actively maintained and has a relatively simple interface so it is a great option for the future. It is a powerful font manager with an extensive range of font and file attributes that can be viewed and sorted by. Unlike most of the other programs, NexusFont mainly works from the main window instead of having many different windows or panes. While NexusFont is running I can access all the fonts including those that are not installed. NexusFont allows me to work with fonts in folders anywhere. Version 3 of Font Runner by Crux Technologies is similar to NexusFont. CFontPro from Veign will be the top choice for many. I think that it has some weaknesses. Font XPlorer by Ahto Tanner, Moon Software, might be down this list but it is excellent for a free font manager. It does have issues other than not being actively developed.
